if this is your daily driver, i wouldn't recommend doing this yourself unless you can go without a car for a few days and if you have a mechanically inclined friend who can help you with the install and take you around to get the parts that you didn't realize you need or whatever...me, personally, i wouldn't attempt this unless i had a lift in my garage, a full set of tools, and some decent experience replacing a clutch in an MX-3...cause every car is different and has it's quirks...i don't mean to scare you off, it's just that a clutch replacement is quite an undertaking for the shadetree mechanic. <hr></blockquote>

i know and this car is my daily driver. actually my whole buisness is run on my car. i have two mx-3's ones my beater (the one the clutch went out on) and my project car. its takin me so far a full day and i havent even got to the tranny. im really close to it though so im not despairing. it should be done by tommorrow afternoon but it would really help if i had directions. thanx for the comments though.

best of luck man...i hope all goes well for ya!

I just recently changed the clutch in my 92 RS, and hadn't done anything other than put a strut bar on the front before that. I'm not as knowledgeable as some of these guys, and I had someone help me, but I would be more than happy to help you via email if you want.

I check fairly regularly, so drop me a line if you want.
Best of Luck.

i appreciate u all tryin to help me out. but i got it under control.its actually all done the only thing left to do is to fill my tranny fluid and to put my air box/ battery box back in. i dont know where to fill my tranny fluid if anyone can help. does anyone know the best way to take a transaxle out cause i just pulled mine out on my chest and that hurt like a ***** but i had to put it back in the same way. any better ideas. thanx everyone. lata

I sent you an email of the fluid fill...
Put the floor jack under the transaxle (piece of wood between) and start wiggling...It's really best to have a second pair of hands though.
Cheers
